Martin Rosso has forged a vibrant and multifaceted career as a solo performer, educator, and orchestra musician. Since 2014 he has been a member of the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, following earlier appointments with the Brussels Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra of Argentina. His work has brought him to major stages across several continents, performing under conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel, Gustavo Dudamel, Riccardo Chailly, Riccardo Muti, Daniele Gatti, Lahav Shani, among many others.

​

As a soloist, he maintains an active performing profile, appearing in recital throughout Belgium and abroad. He is the co-founder of BAS, an ensemble dedicated to showcasing the expressive and often overlooked richness of the double bass repertoire, including collaborations with harp and piano.

​

A committed pedagogue, Martin brings more than two decades of teaching experience to his students. He is currently Professor of Double Bass at LUCA School of Arts in Leuven and has served as Guest Professor at the National University for the Arts in Buenos Aires. His pedagogical approach—shaped by extensive training in the United States and Europe, including an Educational Master’s degree from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels—focuses on developing technical fluency, artistic identity, and empowering students to navigate the complexities of the professional world. He also teaches young musicians at the Mechelen Conservatory.  

​

Born in Buenos Aires, Martin began his musical studies at the National Conservatory of Music with Pastor Mora and received further orchestral training in the youth orchestra of the Teatro Colón. His postgraduate studies were supported by prestigious scholarships from the Antorchas Foundation, the Fulbright Commission, and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, culminating in a Master of Music at Carnegie Mellon University under Jeffrey Turner and advanced studies with Giuseppe Ettorre in Italy.

Martin is based in Brussels and performs on a custom “Rosso Model” double bass built for him in 2018 by British luthier Martin Penning.
